652 — Al-Hasan ibn al-Sabbāh also related to me: Alī ibn Bakkār said: Umar ibn Abd al-Azīz—may Allah have mercy on him—said: “If you see a man who remains silent for long periods and keeps away from people, draw near to him, for he imparts wisdom.”
٦٥٢ - وَحَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ﵁: «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الرَّجُلَ يُطِيلُ الصَّمْتَ، وَيَهْرَبُ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَاقْتَرِبُوا مِنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يُلْقِي الْحِكْمَةَ»
